Chapter 161 Mutated Creatures
The wasteland scavenger skillfully put the mutant rat into the pocket he carried with him and continued to explore the sewers under the ruins.

This piece of ruins is not a big city, perhaps just a small town, so the sewer is not very wide. A normal person cannot straighten his back after going down. But for the skinny wasteland scavengers, they only need to slightly lower their heads and bend over to walk normally.

Because it had not been used for a long time, the sewer was unexpectedly clean and did not have much odor. Only some aquatic organisms grew in the places where rainwater accumulated, which also proved that the water was drinkable.

The wasteland scavenger took out several bottles and cans. One of them was cut open and rags were stuffed into the hole-shaped upper half to serve as a filter.

After simply filtering the stagnant water, the wasteland scavenger took off the gas mask, which he didn't know whether it was still useful, took a few sips, and then put it away carefully.

Even if filtered, the stagnant water would definitely not meet the standards for drinking water, but in the wasteland world, odorless and unpolluted water is a very precious resource.

As for whether you will get sick after drinking it, haha, people with such a weak constitution are not worthy of living in the wasteland world.

After replenishing some water, the wasteland scavenger continued to explore and soon found some traces of long-term life in the hub where the sewers intersected, but he didn't know what it meant and was only concerned with searching for valuable things.

There's no way, you get what you pay for. Wasteland scavengers are just scavengers. You can't expect them to be able to fight and scout. Unless they meet a living person, they won't say a word when they go back.

The returning wasteland scavengers were indeed particularly fond of the tin hut and did not mind its simple appearance at all. They even lit a bonfire, roasted the skinned mutant rat until it was seven-tenths cooked, and then shared the food.

Yan Xu, who had watched the Spring and Autumn Festival for half the night, was still full of energy. After eating a simple meal, he drove out the three wasteland scavengers squatting in the tin hut and occupied the toilet. He didn't want to defecate in broad daylight, and he felt very insecure.

After feeling relaxed, Yan Xu asked the three wasteland scavengers to climb onto the roof of the car. There were welded shelves on top, so as long as they held on tightly, they would not fall down. As for the problems of wind and sun, he didn't mind, so how could the wasteland scavengers have any objections?

With his foot on the accelerator, the diesel engine next door made a steady roar, but Yan Xu looked confused, because he didn't know where he was, where he was going, and even his purpose. If it weren't for the fact that he had to stay in the new world for a full month, he would have returned to the Japanese island of Fukushima to become the Emperor of Runtu.

But he was lucky. After driving for an unknown distance, he finally found a main road.

Although he didn't know where the road led to, Yan Xu knew that as long as he followed the road he would find the city, or at least the ruins of the city.

I couldn't help but step on the accelerator, but the diesel engine was already very noisy, and once I stepped on the accelerator, the noise sounded like thunder and could be heard from far away, thus attracting some powerful creatures. As for the weak ones, they must not have been that curious if they had survived until now.

Although the existence of mutant creatures in the wasteland world was expected, such as the mutant rats that three wasteland scavengers ate as midnight snacks, the monster before them was a bit too much.

Judging from some features, this is a canine creature. Not counting the tail, it is nearly two meters long, with thick fur and well-developed muscles, especially the head. The seemingly swollen head is actually the overdeveloped masseter muscles that hold up the fur.

With such developed masseter muscles, hard teeth and thick jawbones, human bones are probably more brittle than finger biscuits to them.

Yan Xu couldn’t tell whether these strange mutant creatures were wolves or dogs, but he knew that canines were very good at cooperating and rarely appeared alone in the wild, so there must be more around.

Sure enough, after Yan Xu climbed onto the roof and looked around, he found three more mutant creatures trying to approach.

These mutants were afraid of the rumbling sound and huge size of the Sibu Xiang, so they didn't dare to approach easily, but they didn't leave either. Obviously, if necessary, these mutants would most likely continue to follow for a long time. "You're really looking for death." Facing these mutants, Yan Xu had no intention of showing mercy and immediately took out a specially prepared weapon, a shotgun.

This 20-kilogram shotgun has a very simple structure. It is an enlarged single-barrel shotgun, but the caliber is slightly larger and it uses 30mm caliber armor-piercing bullets.

There was a row of large-caliber single-shot bullets fixed on the ammunition belt across Yan Xu's body, just like rifle grenades. He took out a bullet and loaded it, then aimed at the mutant creature that was grinning and constantly testing.

There was a loud bang, and even though Yan Xu had stepped into the extraordinary, he felt a huge reaction force transmitted from his shoulders to his whole body.

This gun has no high technology at all, it's all brute force, so the reaction force is vented on him without any discount. If Yan Xu had not been no longer human and had not learned Tai Chi which is good at unloading force, he would have been saved from rescue. He would have rotated 360 degrees on the spot, and then half of his body collapsed and he lay on the ground, spitting blood.

The unlucky mutant creature that was shot was even worse off. Although it reacted a little, it still couldn't dodge. The bullet started to spread from the shoulder blade of the front leg, and nearly one-third of its body was shattered. The flesh and blood spread over an area of ​​several meters, which looked quite spectacular.

The bullets used by Yan Xu did not pursue high armor-piercing capabilities. They were copper-armor lead-core bullets designed entirely for flesh and blood. Therefore, once they hit the target, the molten lead would carry the shattered copper armor with it to exert amazing lethality, instantly tearing the flesh and shattering the bones.

If it were a human, it would probably make a big hole, because the human body is relatively too soft and it would go through the bronze armor before it could break.

However, the mutant creature's tougher muscles and bones fully demonstrated the power of the gun, which even amazed Yan Xu.

Yan Xu was not surprised that the quick death of his companion allowed the three surviving mutant creatures to escape as quickly as possible.

No predator will choose to fight desperately when hunting, and will even try to avoid getting hurt unless it is extremely hungry.

Even so, the predators' main hunting targets are the old, weak, sick and disabled; adult and strong prey are never the first hunting target.

This was just a small episode. Yan Xu originally wanted to leave directly, but he didn't expect that the three wasteland scavengers actually planned to divide up the mutant creature because they were edible.

Considering that he would have more subordinates in the future, it would be best if he could solve the food problem by himself, so he agreed.

The craftsmanship of the wasteland scavengers was not very good. The already tattered fur became even more messy, and they actually planned to use the iron bars they had polished to cut up a mutant creature weighing hundreds of pounds.

In the end, it was Yan Xu who cut the meat and hung it on both sides of the car to dry. If it could attract some mutant creatures, he could continue to enjoy the fun of hunting.

Yan Xu soon realized how stupid his behavior was. In addition to the canine mutant creatures, there were also flying creatures in the sky. Not only did they steal the meat, but they also captured a wasteland scavenger like the dragon captured the princess. It was estimated that he could not be rescued.

Unfortunately, Yan Xu was in the cockpit and did not see what the flying mutant creature looked like. He only knew that it was large and very ferocious.
